Serves 2 as a side dish or 1 as a main dish

Combined with any veggie blend, quinoa transforms from a bland side dish to the sparkling main event. With this healthy blend of green veggies and protein-packed chick peas, this quinoa dish is a great healthy alternative to overly-starchy sides.

Ingredients
1 c of quinoa
1/2 bag of fresh spinach leaves (6-8oz)
1/2 c onions, chopped
1 can chickpeas
4 fresh mushrooms, sliced

Dash of desired seasoning (we like a little Sriracha, curry powder, paprika, or oregano)

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring quinoa and 2 cups of water to a boil. Then turn to simmer and continue cooking, covered, until water is absorbed (about 10 to 15 minutes).
2. While quinoa is cooking, sauté spinach, onions, chickpeas, and mushrooms in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil.
3. As vegetables are sautéing, add seasoning of choice and mix well.
4. When quinoa is cooked, add to the skillet with veggies and stir until well combined.
